thermosiphon operation

Let me try that again --

I have a 1950 Super A that has been sitting for about 20 years. It’s running fine, but the temperature is reaching 200 at the top of the radiator after 15 minutes of mowing. That seems too hot, and I plan on flushing the radiator.

My question is this: I seem to remember that with the radiator cap off a warm engine, you could look in and see the coolant flowing slowly across the top of the radiator. Is that correct, or is my memory wrong?
